ECOWAS chaired by Faure Gnassingbé sanctions Guinea Bissau

ECOWAS has just adopted "personal sanctions aimed at promoting the restoration of democratic governance and respect for the rule of law in the Republic of Guinea Bissau".

The Economic Community of West African States has sanctioned several Bissau-Guinean figures for their role in the political crisis in their country. Indeed, the Community space reproaches them for not having respected "the Bissau and Conakry Agreements which must apply with a view to the return of the democratic constitutional order".
"... despite the mediators no significant progress has been noted in respect of these agreements," continues the decision A / Dec.2.01 / 2018 of the West African institution. Therefore, the president of the conference of the institution which is none other than the Togolese president, suspends the participation of Guinea Bissau in the activities of the ECOWAS, forbids to travel the sanctioned personalities, freezes their "financial assets ... and of their families wherever they find. "

However, the decision signed by Faure Gnassingbé states that "The Monitoring Committee for the implementation of sanctions reserves the right to revise the list of persons sanctioned according to the evolution of the situation".
Let us recall that in several member countries of this West African space, democracy and the rule of law are in pain. In Togo, for example, opponents demand political alternation, good governance, the limitation of presidential terms, among others. The important points of the Global Political Agreement signed in 2006 by the political actors are still not implemented.

Ibi Ugwu (Male Circumcision) In Igbo Land

The act of circumcising babies in Igbo land is an ancient culture and tradition of the Igbo people which has its origin from their traditional religions. “Circumcision is the act of removing female genitalia, or a simple fold of skin (foreskin and prepuce) that covers the head of an un-erect penis”. In ancient times, the Igbos circumcise both male and female children, but as modernization set in, the circumcision or genital mutilation of Igbo female children was stopped while that of male continued till today. The circumcision of male babies (Ibi Ugwu) in Igbo land is done on the 8th day after birth. This is done by experts in the act, like midwives and native doctors (in modern day, physicians carry out this operation). During circumcision, the fore skin that covers the head of the penis is cut off and the operated part is treated to heal quickly and to prevent any form of infection. Male circumcision (Ibi Ugwu) takes five to seven day to heal up. Meanwhile, some Igbos circumcis...

John XII: The Pope who turned the Vatican to a Whorehouse

Octavianus was only 18 years old when he ascended the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church and became Pope John XII on December 16, 955. He was the only son of Duke Alberic II (932–954) of Spoleto, then ruler of Rome. Alberic, before his death in 954, made Roman nobles swear at St. Peter's altar that they would make his son, Octavianus, pope at the first vacancy. Since the leaders loved the dying father, they kept their word to him and elected Octavianus as the 130th Roman Catholic Pope succeeding Pope Agapetus II after the pope’s death on November 8, 955. Octavianus adopted the apostolic name of John XII. He was the third pontiff to take a regnal name upon elevation to the papal chair; the first being Pope John II (533–535), whose birth name was Mercurius and the second, Pope John III (561–574), whose birth name was Catelinus. Right from the start, in relation to secular issues, the new pope issued his directives under the name of Octavianus, while in all matters relating t...
